People Kissing: A Century of Photographs

Love is in the air as Barbara Levine and Paige Ramey take on humankind's oldest pastime: kissing.

People Kissing: A Century of Photographs is an endearing collection of saucy candids, humorous vintage postcards, and snapshots taken on the sly of couples from the Victorian era through the Swinging Sixties as they smooch, canoodle, neck, and spoon. The images are complemented by apt quotations from notable writers and artists. 

The collected photographs are sweet, sincere, cheeky, occasionally awkward, and always intriguing: Who took these photos? And what lay in store for these amorous couples after the shutter clicked—true love or just a passing fancy?

Dapper Edwardians, GIs. and their girls, teenage Romeos and Juliets — even surprisingly  superstars Andy Warhol and John Lennon — all demonstrate their passion and tenderness. 

People Kissing is the perfect pubic display of affection to share with your own loved one!
